Overall Winner, 2014 National Art Competition Announced...
And so, Mr Erasmus Onyishi took home the 2million naira grand prize + a solo exhibition, emerging as the overall winner for the 2014 NAC. Modupeola Fadugba emerged as the winner Outstanding Production and Paul Mbah, took the place of the winner Outstanding Concept. Surprises awaited two of the finalists, Amarachi Okafor and Nkechi Ebubedike who walked away with the Jurors’ prize of 500 thousand naira each; a contribution by the judging panel, led by Professor El Anatsui, in appreciation of the talents they believed merited prizes as well.
In his work, Mr Eramus's Lines, Patches and Pathos is an incentive-orientated project which involves active participation by the natives/dwellers of Lafia, Nasarawa State, to address plastic waste which exists in abundance, causing visual noise, negative environmental implications and a health menace.
Miss Modupeola's The People’s Algorithm and The Butterfly Effect aims to show that everyone- teachers, students, parents and policy makers can contribute to the nation’s problem-solving efforts. It's an interactive game that presents the current state of affairs in Nigeria, as it pertains to education, using the Rubik’s Cube to symbolize the multifaceted problems that exist.

Paul Mbah's work The T‘Eye’meline, aims to serve as a potent reminder that we Nigerians have the power to spark revolutions and be the pioneers of the changes that our country needs by harnessing the rudiments of interventions as exhibited through a series of sketches and mixed media
installation. These works incorporate elements featuring interventions as expressed through five different themes: Emulation, Empowerment, Time and Resource Management, Awareness, and Positivity.
